Can Boro bury that reverse at Leeds by clocking a second successive positive home result against DerbyCounty? We will have to beware the ever green ever dangerous, Dave Nugent, probably released far too soon by Boro last January.

In this podcast we talk about the benefits of having a hot shot in the side, from Bernie Slaven to Britt Assombalonga and the man waiting in the wings and chomping at the bit, Patrick Bamford. We compare and contrast two shots by Stewart Downing that had very different consequences. Hopefully he will keep firing on all cylinders to help shoot down DerbyCounty.

I point to an article in the fanzine by Mike Kelly that asks the question as to whether Derby's perenial underachievers tag is a result of their managerial revolving door. Those calling for Garry Monk's head less than a week ago might look at the lack of progress made by both East Midlands Championship sides with trigger fingers at board room level.

Finally we all make our predictions for tomorrow's game. How do you see it? Will Boro fall back again against a team packing far more punch than Birmingham or can we roll forward once more and build a gap between us and the team below us and start bridging the gap to our opponents next week, Bristol City.
